New premium delrin single bay reservoir.

Very nice indeed. I was wondering if there was going to be a black n red version. Pretty much the color scheme I've ended up with on my rig.
Dayum, wish I had the fundage to get one of those, would look hella nice.

Nice work indeed. ^_^

There will be red delrin so I am sure a black face
Please PM me.

So does the incoming delerin version of the T3 have the same hidden light source and nifty faceplate or is it going to be a conventional T3 with some parts made out of delerin?

It will be a new design in that it will not use any parts (beyond maybe screws, fittings, or O rings etc.) from the the original injection molded T3.

The original will still be sold as the value line or standard T3 and the delrin version will be the Premium version. It shares materials and front styling cues found on the split window--body machined from a solid block of delrin, face plate machined from aluminum. The port configuration on the back will be like it is on the regular T3--2 in 2 out, but there will be a top fill port standard and the front ports will be optional.

The pump will be held in place with a machined aluminum compression ring (threaded) with diamond knurling in place of the four screws on the standard T3.

I designed some pretty cool metal compression fittings, and Charles from Murder Mods fame has given me his blessing to modify (minor tweaks to aid in manufacturing) a compression fitting design he executed several months back for production...at some point, if not initially, one or the other will likely come standard with the T3 Premium. It all depends on how soon those enter production...choices Primo Chill will make, not me.

The pump internals, or geometry will be very similar to the standard with a few tweaks mostly for easing the machining process. Performance will be on par with the standard T3 or very slightly better--skewed towards strong performance in a parallel loop configuration.

I am not sure if Primo will include a light bar option as there is a LOT of additional machining required for the cavity/pocket the light bar sits in, a machined aluminum cover, and the light bar itself--all of which will/would add a lot to the price which is already going to be up there in the $100 plus range if I had to guess--remember this is a big arse block of machined delrin and a pretty big chunk of aluminum that will both take a lot of machine time. A very high quality, durable/heavy duty part for sure, but one aimed squarely at a very small segment of water coolers using top shelf parts and likely only carried by the bigger resellers or smaller shops that cater to higher end modders.

As an example, there will be a "full conversion" option that includes a machined aluminum motor cover for the D5, and an option to have a custom face plate machined to the users personal design for total build/theme integration. What I would LOVE to see as the designer is a high end boutique builder like Origin install T3 premiums in their water cooled builds that feature a custom "Origin only" color of delrin and a machined face plate with an original Origin design. The exceptional performance of the T3 parallel loop design with some delrin and aluminum loving in a well executed top end build married to Origin only design elements would really set their builds apart from the pack IMHO.

And oh yeah...I remembered the side slots this time for cases with training wheel tabs for optical bays
